U of MI Batman & Robin, 2-26-66

While looking up the Mrs. Batman story, I found something else interesting. Wonder who at the University of Michigan had the pull to get actual Batsuits from Fox Television, and what happened to them afterward? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53363840358_16873e9f0c_b.jpg https://live.staticflick...

Re: Mrs. Batman story, 1966

I'm surprised she didn't give the kids her ex-husband's phone number! :lol:
Found some articles from April '66 - will post when I get home.

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #210: The Sandman Cometh Alone (part 2)

You were asking about the operation of the stethoscope in dispensing Sandman's sleep powder; it's actually pretty simple. The stethoscope that they used was a Medics Instrument Corporation dual type with a lever-operated valve that switches the function from bell to diaphragm. The black plastic bell...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #209: The Sandman Cometh Alone (part 1)

Holy halftime! Been looking forward to the show and now (like Robin) we get a double dose from Sandman! You were asking at the end about the date of the Harold Hornsby column with the Buck Henry interview; earliest reference I could find in Newspapers.com was January 22, 1966 - it was in the Buffalo...

Re: SCRIPT: "The Sandman Cometh", first draft

One other clever tidbit from the script: Alfred referring to Shakespeare (i.e. the bust) to get the Duo into the study. I don't think that was used in any other episodes; correct? If it wasn't it should have been.

Re: SCRIPT: "The Sandman Cometh", first draft

Point taken. Six of one, half a dozen of the other; the way Sleeping Beauty's character is written it's hard to tell if she's in on the scheme or just another sleepwalker. If she was in on the plot, then it's just a father-daughter con game. It is worth mentioning that Sandman would have better acce...

Re: Are there any color photos of the Batmobile before they applied glossy finish?

I checked through the Greg Jein auction; although there are lots of B&W images of the flat black Batmobile there were no color ones.

Re: SCRIPT: "The Sandman Cometh", first draft

Bat-rss, I just thought of something - did I give you a copy of the May 25 (oops) June 13, 1966 final St. Ellis draft? If not, PM me your email and and I'll send it.

Re: SCRIPT: "The Sandman Cometh", first draft

A few more random thoughts: I never got the reference to "Sleeping Pawn" in the end crawl of the first episode - until I read this script and in scene 45 it mentioned "Sleeping Faun"; Googled that and found it referred to a statue of a sleeping youth carved in 1870 by American sc...

Re: SCRIPT: "The Sandman Cometh", first draft

You knew I'd chime in eventually, right? Right now I'm comparing your copy (listed as "First Draft") dated May 25, 1966 with the one I got from Script City (listed as "Final") dated June 13, 1966. Both are nearly identical so far; one thing I notice is the first script has Sandma...
